The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre

Time travel science is always a bit hand-wavey, however this book is alll over the place. 
It sets up some things it doesnt follow through on. 
The DS9 episode visionary comes to mind where O'Brien travels forward and backwards in time. It feels similar.

one of the best in the pocket book series honestly.  the mystery is great,  and the attention to developing both the original tos characters and new characters is done really well.  the people and events that get in their way during this mystery is truly frustrating haha... 

the only thing i thought was weird/didn't like was the talk about rehab prison planets basically being brainwashing stations to turn civilians into mindless obedient citizens. it seems like the most unFederation concept ever. And apparently, it kills Vulcans.

It reads like a mystery & thriller and is easily one of the best novels I've read in the series.

McIntyre spends time with he characters so that their priorities are clear and what happens to them matters. Pretty decent book.

I loved how the effects of time travel were dealt with and the way that the book had you exclaiming that you had remembered a scene that was occurring for the second time though for the first time for the character traveling.

I had a hard time with how the characters were portrayed in the book. It wasn't the Kirk, Spock, McCoy I know. But that might be because I just saw ST:Into Darkness also.

A little confused, but perhaps because I'm not well-versed in physics.
